My science teacher told us that because the action of chewing gum makes the stomach produce more acid as a reflex, it's likely to cause ulcers as their is nothing swallowed to neutralise the acid produced.

That's the sort of thing that sounds logical and could scare people - like kids - into not chewing gum -- I'm sure it's bollocks tho'.

I hate people who leave their used gum in the ashtray, from both a smokers and a bar maids point of view.

Also people who spit it out, without a thought to whichever poor ickle animal will try to eat it, or human has to clean it up. Centreparcs refuses to sell gum at all. Hoorah for them.
